  • Could Trailer 7-Way 12 Volt Accessory Circuit Charge Boat's Battery
  • The 12 volt accessory circuit of a trailer 7-way connector is commonly used to put a maintenance charge on trailer batteries. There really is no reason you couldn't run the wire up to the battery of your boat instead. If the battery is smaller in size it might actually put a decent charge on it too. The big thing will be to come up with a way to disconnect the charge wire from the boat before backing it into the water.

  • Can a Pontoon Boat Cover be Used when Transporting a Boat
  • The Classic Accessories StormPro Pontoon Boat Cover, # CA20027, can be used when transporting your boat, but how it holds up depends on a lot of factors. Things like speed, road and weather conditions all will play a part in how the cover responds to travel. The downfall of a lot of covers is if they are not installed and secured properly and according to the instructions, linked for reference, parts can come loose, flap in the wind and end up tearing even the most well-constructed cover. Personally,...

  • Does 12 Volt Wire on Trailer Side 7-Way have to Be Connected if Trailer Does Not Need 12 Volt Power
  • On a 7-Way trailer connector such as # H20046 the 12 volt wire would connect to any accessory that would need 12 volt power such as a trailer mounted battery or a jack in some cases. You usually do not see them on boat trailers. If you don't have anything on the trailer that needs 12 volt power you can just cap off that wire and stow it out of the way.

Unfasten the hook and loop holding the apron to the pocket inside of your float tube and unclip the spreader bar on the same side.

  • How Do I Mount A Thule Hullavator On 2019 Honda Pilot With A Factory Rack
  • Your existing rails are used to mount your Yakima towers and crossbars on your 2019 Honda Pilot. This can be done by removing your factory crossbars. I believe you need a Torx wrench to do so. Your Yakima rack will consist of the following; Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00426, SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4, part # Y53TR, Landing Pad 19 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers...

  • How To Maintain Trailer-Mounted Winch Battery Using 7-Way 12-Volt Accessory Pin
  • I do not recommend using the accessory circuit if it is attached to the reverse lights as it will only provide power when the vehicle is in reverse. But you can connect the 12 volt accessory pin to the vehicle battery using the following method. First, on the towing vehicle, you will need to install a battery isolator, # PK5231201. The flow of current will go from the vehicle battery to the isolator. From the isolator it will go along a length of 12 gauge wire, # 12-1-1, to the vehicle...

  • Installation Instructions For EcoHitch Front Hitch on 2019 RAM 3500
  • Most of our customers install these hitches themselves. Some have a mechanic install them. Either way, I will email you the instructions in a separate email. If you decide to have someone install the hitch for you, I recommend printing the instructions so they can see what the job entails. You can probably just move your ball mount from the rear hitch to the front hitch. Should you need something with a different offset just email me back. Most of our customers just use this hitch for...

  • Installing HM20048 Molded 7-Way Trailer Connector on Surge Brake Equipped Boat Trailer
  • If you scroll to the bottom of the product page of the # HM20048 connector, you can see the color code chart that shows which colored wire carries which function. The yellow wire on the # HM20048 would carry the signal from the reverse lights, assuming that the center pin of the trailer connector is tied into the reverse lamp circuit. Since you're using a surge brake system, you won't need the blue wire as you suspected. If the trailer doesn't have a battery or any accessories that require...

  • The weight limit for the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - 4 Kayaks, part # RRS520, is 165lbs, so it can support the weight of your kayaks.

  • Will Brake Controller Install on 2015 Wrangler Unlimited Provide 12-Volt Accessory Power for Trailer
  • If you follow the directions for the # ETBC7 brake controller install kit, your trailer connector will have a live trailer accessory circuit that can be used to provide a maintenance charge to a trailer mounted battery. The circuit won't have enough grunt to charge a depleted battery, so you'll need to charge using shore power and a battery charger like part # CTEK56353 if the battery becomes discharged. The purple wire on the adapter that converts the 4-pole flat trailer connector to...

  • Adapting Truck with 5-Way Connector to Trailer with 7-Way Connector
  • A 5-way to 7-way adapter is not offered. The best way to proceed would be to install the 7-way connector on your truck, and if you should need to tow a boat trailer in the future, use a 7-way to 5-way adapter, such as part # A75TB. In order to utilize the electric brakes on your trailer with the 7-way connector, you will need to install a brake controller to actuate them. I would recommend a proportional controller, such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. As the 1998 GMC trucks...

  • 2007 Toyota Tundra 4-pole to 7-Way Wiring Installation
  • Since your Tundra has a 4-way connector you can use a Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 to convert your existing 4-way to a 7-way connection. Some vehicles are equipped with a T-One Connector that is very easy to use and you simply plug the connector into the existing wiring harness plugs on your vehicle and then you can establish a 7-Way connector. Currently for your 2007 Toyota Tundra we do not have a compatible fit for a T-One style connector and your vehicle. The new 7-way will supply...

  • Installing Pollak 7-and 4-Pole Trailer Connector # HM40975 on 2011 Toyota Tacoma
  • Since it sounds like your Tacoma already has a 4-pole in place, I would recommend the # HM40975-11998. As you mentioned, this is the same connector used OEM on late model Tundras, F150s, Ram Trucks and now, even the 2014 GM trucks. There are two ways you can install this. You can cut off the existing 4-pole and hardwire it to the 11998 pigtail, if cutting off the 4-pole does not bother you. The wiring harness would then wire to the pigtail as follows: Harness yellow wire connects to...
